Hi, I'm not sure if theres thread on this but my signal is lost. two weeks ago i wake up one morning to find my service isnt working,the sim does work on my two old phones so it's not a sim issue. I then found my baseband is unknown. So I searched and found some fixes which are too flash the radio with a new radio through either clockwork mode or nexus toolkit. I've tried 5 different radios all being diffrent updates of the galaxy nexus radio. I was runnung 4.2.1(which i hated) but now I got android revolution HD 2.1.2 and ak kernel and downgraded to 4.0.2(yes the phone is unlocked and rooted). I was wondering can anyone tell me whats wrong before I factory lock it and unroot and send it in for warranty repair. Btw phone was with Rogers/Fido carrier.
Since you've done all that, we don't know what's wrong with it. 4.0.2? You're missing out on security fixes (been talked about a lot lately), new features, optimizations, not sure why you're running it. That aside, and I'm not saying it will do anything for you, you could try GetRil from the Play Store, to see what RIL you have installed, and if it recognizes any baseband at all. Your radio (or radios, we don't even know which variant you have) may be dead, who knows? What's the latest baseband you flashed? What's the latest bootloader you flashed?

I wanted 4.1.2 but for some reason I got 4.0.2 so I have no idea, but I'm going to stick with ice cream sandwhich since 4.2.1 update had tons and I mean TONS of bugs that wanted me to kill my nexus.

Hello, yeah I got the app, but it says that they dont match and they show basband unknown compared to ugkl1. How do I get the ICS Bootloader?

I just got 2 new Galaxy Nexus phones (docomo sc-04d versions) after reading on here that they work the same as the I925 and testing them with my sim cards, I have no issues with them working on my current network.
While reading through the forums, I realized both of them have the old baseband, XXKK1. I went to the radio forum and downloaded the latest for my area... UGLA4. Loaded the phone in recovery mode, but all I get is the android on his back with the red exclamation and limited options. No options to flash the radio like in the tutorial video. The bootloader does say unlocked, so is their something else I have to do? I don't know if the Galaxy Nexus toolkit will help, as I thought my phone was unlocked.
Also, I changed the keyboard from Japanese to English, but there are 4 apps in Japanese that cannot be removed ggg market, sohuNews and two others that I cannot read. Does this mean I do not have a stock build, but a branded one? Right now I just want a stock build with the updated radio for now, atleast just to get the phones good to go. Also, will I need to change the baseband back to the original everytime I get an update notification for a new build?
Thanks in advance, phone info follows:

You should probably flash the stock Google images. This will get rid of the region-specific build and all of that baked-in crap. It'll also include the latest radio.
I know Docomo is a Japanese company, but the fact that the keyboard defaulted to Traditional Chinese and didn't have a Japanese input threw me off, but I edited it, thanks for the clarification.
Should I just pull the stock images from Google's code site for factory images? (sorry can't post links yet)
Keep it as 4.0.2 and let it update itself, or flash to 4.0.4?
Flashing it with stock will keep the phone unlocked, correct?
Thanks again.

Might as well go straight to 4.0.4, the images are available.
It should remain unlocked, but I'd take a look at the threads specific to the SC-04D, as there are some idiosyncrasies with that model.
I no longer run AOKP and a custom kernel, I went back to my "stock" 4.0.4 yakju build I flashed after finding out I had a yakjuxw.
Now, after following efrant's guide, I run the XXLA4 baseband/radio, and apparently the "XX" signifies it's good for Europe? I think I read that somewhere.
I also heard that there was a newer OTA available other than IMM76D, but I haven't found anyone yet. Did this "yakju" conversion really work? I'm wondering because I didn't find any OTA after flashing 4.0.2 yakju, so I manually updated to 4.0.4 through their official OTA I download manually from here.
Is there any way to check if the OTA thing REALLY works? My phone does report itself as a yakju, according to the GN official update app. I do not want to flash a custom ROM again for a while as I feel I never gave stock a chance and most ROMs are nightlies, which I don't like.
I've googled for a long time now and haven't come up with anything useful, other than "erasing data" for the Google Services Framework which didn't help.
I just found out the crappy reception was because of a carrier-related issue which, hopefully, would be resolved by the 20th.
IMM76D (build) and XXLA2 (radio) are the latest yakju 4.0.4 OTA #'s.

They are the ones I'm using. I heard that flashing some other radio got rid of the problem, but I don't wanna mess with radios like that on a three days old phone.

Different people have different experiences with radios based on their location and provider. If you don't wanna mess with it, then don't.
Specifically what radio problem are you having? There are reports of dropped signals, but I have yet to experience them.

No signal when phone enters sleep mode.

Hi all,
I just received a new GNex from Vodafone Australia. Can someone please help me figure out which version I have so I can update it?
I am running 4.0.4 (rooted)
The Baseband is:
I9250TDVLE1
The build is:
IMM76K.I9250TDVLE1
I could not find an update on google anywhere...
I found reference to my build pertaining to Toro, Magro and Verizon.
I can't see how all of these could be simultaneously true...
I thought '**** it' I ll roll back to a yakju 'official' 4.0.4 IMM76I ROM from here and then flash the Update to 4.1.1 JRO03C
But When I booted into CWM and tried to flash the imm76i, it would not let me. Is there something I am doing wrong or do not understand about swapping roms...?
(I cleared the cache / factory reset)
Am I stuck with IMM76I until google makes an 4.1.1 update, or can I flash another google rom somehow and get the update that way?
Cheers

That's because the package you downloaded on Google's Developers website needs to be flashed using fastboot, not CWM. Follow this thread to flash back to yakju, and you should be good to go.
Did this work for you? as i have the same phone and im tempted to do this but not if its going to mess the phone up. Damn you vodafone for having to be different

It would definitely work however if you even need to return your phone back to Vodafone, you may or may not run into some issues due to not being on their ROM. It's pretty hard to find random stock ROMs for places other than the main ones these days (or I just might be looking at the wrong places).

I'm sorry, I can't remember what I did, but I fixed it that night, which now feels like months ago.
I installed Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.2, on a pc and I know that that helped me speed up the process.
You can't ruin anything unless you flash a rom not designed for the phone, or format the bios partition and then reboot (with out installing a new bios), but even then I'm sure you can install stuff from a pc over usb using that program.

Thanks New to Android as I have been an avid iOS user and jailbreaker for a few years so just catching up on rooting and flashing ROMs n stuff. But good to know it can be done as i Have the exactly same phone from Vodafone Australia. Better to be safe than sorry and ruining a 2 day old phone.

No worries mate, this is my 2nd android phone (first was a nexus s).
I learned a lot by rooting and playing with custom roms on that ph, but I have been really happy with stock jelly Bean on this (albeit rooted) device. Battery life is great, and it's a snappy phone with great features.
FYI I just read an interesting article Why Apple Won't Divorce Samsung today that explained how Samsung make all the chips for Apple products. You can't go wrong with Samsung mate.
Android users on this forum are generally friendly and Damn knowledgeable too.
Enjoy your new phone!

OK. The fact is that Vodafone and Telstra get all their updates later. This is because of the better 3g signals they have built in the phone. So due to this their updates come out a little while later. Also it depends where you are in the world (eg. UK, AU, USA) because the UK has already got the update as far as I know. So there is two options here to stay with Vodafone if something does go wrong so you have a backup. And referring to what Unlawful had said he is right you do need a stock Vodafone ROM or features and such can go wrong. BTW I am also with Vodafone but running a custom ROM.
Thank mate. I updated it manually, months ago.
The Gnex is an awesome phone (I upgraded from a NEXUS S), and with stock jelly Bean (rooted) with stock kernel it runs smoothly and is stable.
I miss rge Wolfson audio chip of the nexus s though bc audio recordings are terrible and crackling with the gnex.
Fast charge is something that I now need and otherwise I'm satisfied!
Hey guys I have a question about baseband compatibility
My GNex is completely stock 4.1.1 and is rooted.
I was on bigxies ROM running uglc1 and I seemed to have better reception with it.
Thing is, ever since I went back to stock, I've tried flashing the same radio over xxlf1 and I can't get any service. I am experiencing the same issues once again such as random signal loss and no service. I ran GetRil and everything is good there.
So is it that you just cant run a different baseband on a factory installed rom or am I doing something wrong?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Not all radio versions are compatible with every version of Android. This sounds like you have a GSM version of the GNex as I myself have a the CDMA/LTE version but in some cases when new version of Android come out or leak or what have you it's best to keep current the radio versions with the OS.... If that helps or makes sense at all. I do know that on the CDMA/LTE JellyBean updates I'm still using the radio versions from 4.0.4 with it and it's perfectly fine. Have you always had the loss in signal or is this only of recent with testing different radios?

I got it to work. Apparently some thunderstorms knocked out at&t service last night and I was flashing radios during it so when I got done, I couldn't pull any service down. While I'm still without signal, I know its not a radio issue now. Thanks for the response

Hi everyone, This is my first post and my first trouble
I have samsung galaxy nexus, Its made in korea (written at its back when we remove the battery), when i got this phone it was probably rooted because it was on 4.0.2 and software update was available to 4.1.1 but when the update completed and phone restarted, it suddenly shows me a red Exclamation mark and then nothing happens and i have to pull out the battery, i thought its because my phone is rooted. So, i searched on the internet about how to bring my nexus to stock factory rom, i found this thread to be helpful http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 , so i followed all the steps excluding the last step saying to re-lock the bootloader... and downloaded this factory image from google Factory Images "takju" for Galaxy Nexus "maguro" (GSM/HSPA+) (with Google Wallet) - Android 4.0.4 (IMM76I), first i tried with the 4.1.2 but it says exceed buffers or something during installation, thats why i tried 4.0.4 (IMM76l) and it was installed on my nexus. It works fine, but still i can't update to a newer version of android, when i got in settings > system updates it shows me the update of around 144mb of adnroid version 4.1 but when it finished downloading, i get the same error, android with a red exclamation mark, and i have to restart...help me please i am writing here with full details about my firmware
Model Number: Galaxy Nexus

Tell me, how to install a stock firmware which can be updated easily, tell me step by step, so that i can understand and follow it easily...
really doesnt get any easier than straight from GOOGLE
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
But, i am really confused, which image to install...i have tried few and they all failed when i try the first command in fastboot mode, it gives me error like exceed buffer size, please help me to choose which is the right update for me...
I believe that the relative error in fastboot is related to the fact that it was not flashed the correct bootloader present in the stock rom downloaded from Google ... following the efrant's guide, step by step, and the order of operations, should no longer give back the error and then allow properly flash the stock rom.

This is not an international gsm device, so the factory images will not work I believe, since it requires another radio, and neither will the OTA update.

Screen burn in. A quick search suggests that any gsm image would work on the docomo version (takju, yakju). What does the phone say as far as device if you go into Maps > settings> about? It seems he could fastboot flash everything except the radio..

what about my screen problem. why there are slight icons whcih are noticeable when the screen is white and it shows that there are icons on the background.
Immediately below your platform, it should say what firmware your device is running (yakju, yakjux, yakjuxx, etc.). Im just wondering because i know all yakjus are convertible. But i guess just knowing its a maguro is detail enough. As far as screen burn in, turn down your brightness. I never run mine above say 40%.

Again, turn down your brightness. And you already mentioned the only thread you should need: efrant's return to stock thread. If you don't understand something, keep trying to learn before you mess with your phone.
